Malachi's ISD Preschool Graduation

Malachi has now completed his second year at his special education preschool and has made fabulous progress. We are so proud of all the achievements he's made. June 23rd marked his final day of school, graduation, and sadly...the day we had to say good-bye to those people who have worked with him for the past 2+ years and have done so much to improve his life. We're very sad to say good-bye to those people but we know that we'll still see them around. They played the 'graduation song' as the kids walked in. I nearly fell apart, but managed to hold it together! He looks like such a big boy. I can't believe my babies will be starting Young 5's in the fall.
Shaking his teacher's hand and getting his 'diploma'.


All of the kids sang songs and shared some poems. They each got to take a turn leading it. Malachi lead the poem about the oval!



Sitting like a proud graduate!



Malachi's teachers also had a family picnic earlier in June where the kids and families play on the playground, have a cookout, and the kids are honored with certificates of achievement. This is Malachi with his certificate his "academic skills and improved independence".




We could not be any more proud of Malachi and although he still has a delay, we know that he'll continue to make progress in a regular education classroom next year. He will still recieve speech and OT through pull out services and he'll have a great teacher/friend who will not let him "fall through the cracks".
